Against The Grain
Сity and Colour Lyrics

You need not to climb mountaintops
You don't have to do something extraordinary or push yourself to the limit to be content with your life.

You need not to cross the sea
You don't have to go to far-off or exotic places to find happiness.

You need not to find a cure For everything that makes you weak
You don't have to fix every little flaw or weakness you have to feel fulfilled.

You need not to reach for the stars When life becomes so dark
You don't have to set ambitious goals when you're feeling lost or hopeless.

And when the wind Does blow against the grain
When life gets tough and obstacles arise,

You must follow your heart You must follow your heart
The only thing that matters is staying true to what you believe and what you want in life.

When all your friends have come and gone And the sun no longer shines
When you're left feeling alone and unhappy,

And the happiness for which you long Is washed away like an ocean's tide
When you're not able to find joy and contentment in your life,

When all the hard times Outweigh the good And all your words are misunderstood When the day seems lost from the stars
When life is more difficult than it is joyful, when people don't listen or understand you, and when it all seems hopeless,

If you feel you've paid the price And your wounds should cease to heal And everything you love in life Spins like a winding wheel
When you feel like you've suffered the consequences of your actions, when your emotional pain doesn't seem to go away, and everything in your life feels chaotic and out of control,

If you should wake to find you're abandoned And the road you've traveled Leads to a dead end
When you're feeling abandoned and when you're stuck in a situation that doesn't seem to get any better,

When death creeps in to play it's part You must follow your heart You must follow your heart
Even when facing the possibility of death, the most important thing is to stay true to yourself and what you believe in.
